Detailed description of my Revitalash experience!
I won't get into the fact that the product contains an ingredient that may possibly be bad for eye health. I am neither a professional nor have I experienced any Horrible side effects. I will simply critique my experience with the product side effects as well as the negatives.
Fact: This item really does work. My lashes have become longer and thicker. Very noticeable. The results are open to interpretation; subjective. Some think my lashes are amazing while others think they look sort of bad because they resemble "insect legs" (long and thick) LOL Either way everyone notices the change in length. Through touch they feel awfully thick and tough whereas before they felt very fine and soft. And with the help of mascara my lashes look a mile long!! Also I would like to point out that I had barely any bottom lashes but they have begun to really grow. My top lashes were short and sparse due to constant eyelash curling and they have grown dramatically esp. the outer corners.
Now for the bad:
1. One ingredient in this product is the same ingredient in drops that are used to treat glaucoma. This ingredient apparently causes eyelashes to curl the eyelids to darken (can really tell after a workout - I look like I am wearing eyeliner) and the irises to darken as well. ALL of this HAS happened to me. I believe this is the ingredient that is questionable and may be unhealthy for you. It WILL be a good idea to use the newer safer version of this product though I heard results were a bit slower. I will be switching over when I am done with the tube.
2. Through initial use they burned my eyes and caused irritation and some dryness. The burning only lasts 5-10 seconds while dryness/irritation vary in duration. This goes away after a couple months which may be considered long for some.
3. Results may be slow. For me it was. It took about 2-3 months for me to really notice results. I have been using the product pretty religiously for the past 8 months.
4. Lashes will hit plateaus - periods where they will not lengthen. Whether or not they will continue to grow is varied. I believe that this is due to the fact that there is a "set lash length" for every individual. I feel I have reached my limit. It's not as long as I wish but I am Asian so we tend to have sparse and thin lashes to begin with. A good mascara does the rest so I am pleased.
5. Hair growth is...UNCONTROLLABLE. Your lashes may be curling here but not there growing longer here while other areas are sparse or not as long. However most likely only the user would notice small details like this.
I know that I listed a lot of "negatives" but i don't consider any of them horrible per se. Annoying? A bit. All in all I still feel confident about this product. Yes it may be pricey but one tube takes forever to use up. I have been using it for 8 months and still have a lot left. Remember that a little goes a long way.
